It sounds like the Houston Astros manager is going to continue believing in their veteran slugger no matter how bad things get.
It looked like they had finally started piecing things together in mid-May when they made a charge up the AL West standings, but they have fizzled out almost as quickly as the hot stretch came.
After signing a three-year, $58.5 million contract with Houston in 2022, things have not gone well for the 2020 American League MVP. The Astros apparently thought he spent the requisite amount of time figuring things out and decided to recall him on May 27 after almost a month away from Major League Baseball.
Of course, the skipper isn't going to say anything that would crush the confidence of the slugger immediately after coming back to the team, but maybe this is more than lip service.
